Frequently Asked Questions
Unpotted pickups offer a more open, dynamic sound with increased harmonic complexity, but they can be a bit noisier than potted designs.
It's a more sculpted and slimmer profile than many traditional Les Paul necks, offering a more modern feel and faster playing experience.
Ebony is naturally drier, so regular conditioning with a dedicated ebony fingerboard oil is essential to prevent cracking and maintain its smooth playing surface.
